The State ia sovereign

WAsHIN aToN, December 5.-A decision
was rendered by the United States Su-
preme Court, this afternoon, in the Vir-
ginia habeas corpus cases OF Attorney
General Ayers and the commonwealth,
attorneys, Scott and McCable, who were
imprisoned by order of Judge Bond, of
the United States Circuit Court, for dis
obeyance to restraining order forbid
ding them to bring suits for the collec-
ton of taxes IN cases where tenders
have been made OF coupons cut from
State bonds. This court, IN q very long
elaborate opinion, by Justice Matthews,
holds that the suit in which Jadge
Bond issued the restraining order in the
Circuit Court, although nominallv q
suit against individuals, was in reality q
suit against the State of Virginia, and
as such is forbidden by the Eleventh
Amendment to the Federal OohstItu-
ton; that the United States Circuit
Court had therefore no authority to
entertain such suit; that in so doing
and in issuing the restraining order to
prevent officers of the State from dis
charging their duties under the laws of
the State Judge Bond was acting with
out constitutional warrant and that the
duO oil
proceedings under it, including the ar
rest and Imprisonment of he petition
ers, were illegal and without authority.
The court, therefore, directs that
petitioners, Acknowledgement Ayers
and commemorative Attorneys, Scott
and McCable, be at once discharged.
The opinion, which is that of the whole
court, with the exception of Judge
Harlan, who dissents, sustains the
State of Virginia at all points, and
virtually declares that State as
political sovereignty, cannot be sued
nor coerct d in Federal courts, either
by an action brought against her by
name or by an action brought
against her officers in their
official capacity. The court declares
that the Eleventh Amendment estab-
llshes a distinction between con-
tracts made by individuals with a
State, the latter class cannot be en-
forced by remedies used to enforce the
former; that is, by suits in United
States courts, and they are, therefore,
without sane ion, except in so far as
such sanction is given to them by the
honor and good faith of the contracting
State. Such State may consent to be
sued in it's own court, or in Federal
courts for breach of contract, bnt it
may at any time withdraw such con-
sent and resume sovereignty, and it
cannot then be iudiciously coerced at
the reqnest of an individual.

To Restrict Immigration

WASHINGTON, December 4.-Senatol
Palmer, of Michigan, will introduce il
the Senate a bill for the purpose OF
regulating and restricting immigration
to the United States. by keeping out
persons who seem likely to be undesir-
able citizens. The bill will provide that
all persons coming from foreign
countries for the purpose of residing
here shall be provided with certificate
from the United States consul for the
district of his residence, setting forth
that the said consul is satisfied that
such person is suitable and desirabl
person for citizenship in the United
States, that no certificate shall be
granted to any convict except those
convicted of political offenses, nor a
iunatic or idiot or to any person unable
to take care of himself or herself, nor
any Anarchist, NIhilist, nor any per
son hostile to the princip. es of the
Constitution or form of government of
the United States, nor to any believer
or protested believer IN the Mormon
religion who fails to satisfy the consul
upon examination that he or she in
tends to and will conform to and obey
the laws of the United States.

Waste of Tissue Without Repair,

Vigor begins to decline when dys-
pep5ia inyades the stomach. The dis
ease, prolonged through neglect, entails
grieyous loss OF flesh and serious waste
of the muscular tissue. To invigorste
thoroughly and speedily, a sound
stomach is required. There is none
comparable to Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, since it institutes, and if con-
tinued, perpetuates repair OF the It's
sues, which have declined in bulk, vigor
and elasticity in consequence of non
assimilation of food. No time
should be- lost in beginning the repars-
tive process, nor should there be any
delay in removing those ailments of
frequent occurrence, which contri butte
to and foster an enfeebled condition of
the stomach and nerves, viz: constipa-
ton and liver complaint, disorders
which the Bitters will assuredly extin-
guish. IL also remedies and prevents
